Biorationals Market Summary

Biorationals Market Dynamics

Rising demand for the organic food is expected to drive the biorationals market growth

Organic farming is alternative to conventional techniques to reduce environmental impact and improve human health. The promising growth of organic farming creates new opportunities for the biorationals market. Consumers rising demand for organic fruits and vegetables resulted in the growing demand for the use of biorationals. Countries with strong agriculture bases are gradually transitioning from the green revolution towards the evergreen revolution. The role of agri-bio inputs will be crucial in driving this transformation owing to the ecofriendly use of some bio-based products like biorationals. Biorationals are more effective and place fewer traces on the product. They are made from plant extract and pathogens. Harmful synthetic pesticides sprayed on fruits and vegetables could disrupt the human body's endocrine system costing the demand for the biorationals market. Also, increasing consumers' trend toward organic management products increases the market growth. Pest control technologies enable maximum pest resistance, which makes biorational pesticides favorable among farmers. It has increased the demand for organic products like neem extracts, pheromones, repellents, and essential oils. The rise in government concern towards food security with the help of sustainable strategy is expected to boost the demand for natural pesticides or biorationals over the forecast period.

Biorationals Market Segmentation Analysis

Botanicals segment accounted for the highest share in global biorationals market

In 2021, Botanicals segment had the highest revenue share of over XX percent. Botanicals are the eco-friendly biorational alternative to synthetic pesticides. They are effective against the pest like Aphids, Budworm, Caterpillar, Codling Moth, Leafminer, Spider Mite, Thrips, and Whitefly. They perform a major role in pest management. They leave less residue as compared to synthetic pesticides. Increased demand from the agriculture sector for its residue free property helps to grow the botanicals segment.

The cereals and grains segment are characterized by a high attack of bug disease and subsequent environmental losses. Growing concerns over aphids have urged cereal producers to adopt biocontrol agents such as pheromone traps and semi-chemicals for effective insect control. Increasing concern for the consumption of organic cereals and grains and their health benefits drives the demand for biorationals for the use in cereals and grains.

Biorationals Market Geographical Share

Asia Pacific is the dominating region during the forecast period

In 2021, Asia Pacific had the highest revenue share of almost XX percent. The surge in biorationals is due to the increasing consumer demand in the Asia Pacific region. Increasing consumer demand for natural & organic ingredients over synthetic products drives the market growth. Rising demand for organic fruit and vegetable production promotes farmers to increase the use of organic products like biorationals. Major developing countries like India and China increased their area of production of organic farming. In India, the organic crop production cultivation area was 4339184.94 ha in 2021. Madhya Pradesh is the leading state for the production of organic crops, with an area of 1637730.46 ha in the year 2021. India is largest exporters of organic fruit and vegetables.

This acquisition helped to strengthen the company’s position as a significant player in agricultural solutions. Major market players launched new organic products to expand their portfolio. For instance, in March 2021, Bayer Ag launched a new biologic product named Vynyty Citrus to control citrus farm pests. This product is an innovation in the market with a container with an active liquid inside. It is the first product on the market formulated with pheromones and natural pyrethrum to control pests in citrus fruits. Also, in May 2020, Bayer launched a new insecticide, Vayego, to protect against the Colorado potato beetle. It is helpful to control lepidopteran pests in tree fruit and vegetables, with low risk to beneficial insects.  

COVID-19 Impact on Biorationals Market

Negative impact on the global biorationals market

The outbreak of Covid 19 had a significant impact on the food service industry. Sales of biorationals suffered the most during the Covid-19 pandemic due to the closing of specialized stores and other sales channels. The agriculture sector is also badly affected due to the Covid pandemic. The raw materials and supply chain for the production of biorationals is completely closed during a pandemic. Manufacturing companies of agricultural fertilizers and pesticides are closed for a certain period, so there was a shortage of the biorationals in the market. Retail shops were closed during the pandemic, which negatively hampered the market. Import and export of the commodities were completely closed due to the strict government regulations. These factors negatively impacted the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has broken most transportation chains and distribution mechanisms between suppliers, production facilities and customers. These factors negatively affected the market.
